Breaded Okra

I love breaded okra. It's one of those comfort foods that Mom made when I was growing up. It's also very healthy and very tasty.

The ingredients are pretty simple: cut-up okra, Italian-flavored breadcrumbs, and canola oil spray. If your can is almost empty (like mine was), have another one ready, because you're probably going to need it.

 

Spray the pan with canola oil spray and heat it up on the stove over normal heat (something like medium to medium-high).

 

Now add the okra and spray the okra.

 

Add some breadcrumbs and spray again. Keep spraying and adding breadcrumbs (making sure to stir the pan often) until you've added enough breadcrumbs:

 

Keep stirring. When it looks like this, you're done:



It's so easy and so yummy! No fried okra for me, thank you. I'll take breaded okra any day.

  1. Breaded, fried, sauteed, stewed, in gumbo,...! I know...I'm starting to sound like Forrest Gump's friend, Bubba, when he talked about all of the ways one could serve shrimp!
    It was great seeing you today, Rose! I think I'm going to go and prepare some sliced carrots and celery tomorrow...and let's not forget about the okra! I love your new blog!
